Come over to the Dark Side . . .
86% chocolate? Special Dark syrup? Clearly I need to get out more. The strongest I’ve seen is 78% (although I love Scharffen Berger’s Cacao Nibs – straight cacao bean chips!!). Best I’ve had so far is Valrhona 70% – it has that delightful, slightly alcoholic aftertaste.
White “chocolate” is a crime against nature. Good on the FDA.
Dark chocolate is the crack cocaine of junk foods - I’ve polished off too many bars of it to remember …
For me, milk chocolate is OK, but only if the store’s out of dark (which happens a lot around here - says a lot for the good taste of the locals).
Milk chocolate, absolutely.
Dark will do in a pinch. Sort of. Kind of. Better than carob, anyway. But if you want chocolate, might as well have CHOCOLATE.

Well, the overwhelming vote for Dark Chocolate only serves to reinforce my view of what good taste the people of the SDMB have. 
Needless to say, Dark absolutely. Really high quality milk chocolate is acceptable, but white chocolate is a crime against humanity and should be punished as such.

…and now everyone can order the best chocolate around…!
don’t thank me. No, Please, don’t.
You’re quite welcome 
Priceguy,
if you’re wondering, the one I’m sending you is the “Brut 86% Cacao”, the first pic on the right hand side.
I hope you’ll enjoy.
My preferred chocolate bar is Cadbury’s Burnt Almond, especially with a glass of LBV (or better) port.
Hope I can get 'em in NYC.
Dark chocolate all the way.
But I agree with this:
Good point.

And that’s a dark chocolate :smack:
Another vote for dark chocolate.
Although I can’t say that i dislike* milk chocolate, it’s not nearly as good as the dark stuff.
I like my coffee and beer dark as well.
Dark chocolate for me…especially the Dove bits - they melt in your mouth.
In an emergency, I will settle for milk chocolate.
Dark, and until last night, the darker the better.
what happened last night? GonzoGal returned from France, and knowing how much I enjoyed Nestle’s (?) Noir, brought back an assortment of increasingly dark bars.
Noir Intense: 74% yum!! Like Crack! must have more!
Brut: 88% Yowsah! that’s dark. In small doses, good. she didn’t like it much.
And then…
99% … don’t recall the name, but it hardly matters. 99% dark chocolate! What could be better, right? wrong. BLEAH! it burns, it burns! I’ve never had bakers chocolate, but I guess this is pretty much the same thing. Will only subject it on friends.
I’ll stick with 70-80% from now on.
(I do like a good white on occaision, best with some sort of nuts)
I don’t really care for chocolate that much…but when I do I like milk better than dark. Dark tastes bitter to me and I don’t like white at all.
DARK! No contest. I especially enjoy Milk Way Midnight bars, and am really excited about this new dark chocolate candy bar trend.
Another vote for chocolate. Though I will eat milk chocolate candy bars if the other ingredients make up for the sub-standard chocolate (i.e., Snickers, Twix, Nestle Crunch, etc.).
Hey, why are you begging for chocolate? We’ve got tree great stores in our little town: Skomakargatan, Södertull, Mariedalsvägen.
For a trip to dark chocolate heaven, visit the Valrhona website.
Oh, and I think that 70% is milk chocolate.
Both!
Add me to the ‘dark’ club.
Milk chocolate. But I won’t turn down a dark chocolate treat if it’s offered to me.
